This cabin is equipped with an Ozone machine (ask us for instructions if you need assistance using it). We also ozonate the cabins prior to your arrival to ensure no viruses or bacteria are present in the air. However, you can also use the Ozone machine to disinfect the cabin on a daily basis while you are outside of the cabin sightseeing. Our cleaners are also using medical strength disinfectants to spray all surfaces prior to your arrival. Please look at our reviews for our other properties and this one. As you may notice, we have always provided one of the cleanest facilities for the guests and we are now taking the extra cleaning steps to ensure COVID-19 doesn't affect our guests.

No Parties or events are allowed at this property. If at any given point more than 12 people are present at the property we will have no choice but to ask you to vacate the property.

Chris and I immediately fell in love with this cabin as soon as we saw the backyard and we knew it had to be ours! This hidden gem is tucked away in the trees and is bordered on two sides by National Forest Service land with nothing but miles and miles of forest and mountain views around it. Sitting in the the backyard or on the patio surrounded by nothing but tall, century-old Aspen and Pine trees it's the perfect getaway to escape into the great outdoors and just enjoy nature. Inside, this lodge boasts 4500 sqft of living space, more than enough for everyone! We do have big plans to renovate the interior and if you are lucky to come back in a year or two it will look completely different, but in the meantime you get to enjoy it's vintage charm in all its glory! You can't help but feel nostalgic when you see the fun floral wallpaper, brightly colored walls and carpet, and extensive VHS collection (the VHS player works if you want to watch one)! Try ringing the doorbell and see if it doesn't immediately bring a smile to your face! You can't help but fall in love with all the fun vintage style and gorgeous traditional furniture and decor.

With room for 12 guests, this cabin is the prefect getaway for families and friends to escape to the great outdoors. Boasting six bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living rooms, and a spacious kitchen and dining area, you will have plenty of space for cooking, dining and relaxing with family and friends; as well as comfortable sleeping arrangement and no lines for the shower! Don't let its vintage style fool you into thinking you won't have all the modern comforts you are used to; we have included all the amenities and comforts you would find at home including a fully equipped kitchen, two large SMART TVs, fast Wi-fi, comfortable beds, and a washer and dryer. Outside there is a Weber Barbecue for grilling the perfect meals, and outdoor seating on the patio for enjoying the outdoors. After days spent exploring Yellowstone you can come home and enjoy your evenings under the stars around a campfire, or go for a soak in the hot tub which is available year round.

This cabin is located only 10 miles (10-12 minutes) from the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park and is in the closest subdivision to the border of Montana and West Yellowstone. Since short-term rentals are restricted in West Yellowstone this is one of the closest places to the West Entrance of Yellowstone that you can rent on Airbnb! Being so close to the entrance of the park means you will spend less time driving to and from the park and more time exploring all the amazing sights and attractions Yellowstone has to offer. At the same time you are only a quick drive to to any of the outdoor sights and activities offered in Island Park!

Our cabin is professionally cleaned after each stay. Our cleaning service is all inclusive and will take care of garbage removal and all cleaning. Unlike other rentals we will NOT be asking you to take your garbage to the landfill, and we will NOT have a list of cleaning tasks for you to do before check-out. Our main goal is for you to have all the time to enjoy your vacation and we want your check-in and check-out to be easy and hassle free! As superhosts we are highly rated hosts who are committed to providing our guests with the best possible experience. Come relax and enjoy your vacation at our home away from home!

Perfect for extended family
My dad celebrated his 79th birthday by bringing the whole family together for a trip to Yellowstone. We were 11 people and found the space heavenly! Plenty of bedrooms and we could split up when we needed breathing space :) The kitchen is huge so we had plenty of space to prepare family meals. There’s a dining table that will seat 12 if you bring in chairs from the breakfast nook (which was perfect for breakfast as we had some later risers). It’s an easy drive to the National Park and I recommend packing lunches. We used the provided coolers every day! Pack your own refreezable ice blocks. We saw mule deer and chipmunks on the property during our stay. We used the hot tub and barbecue during our stay too. I hope more families find respite here!

Evidence of rodent activity and spiders.
Arrived early afternoon and before going to bed found evidence of mouse droppings and many spiders in the lower level bedroom. Contacted manager. He said he would send someone out the next day to assess. We had a full house, 4 families and 4 children under the age of 4 for a total of 11. We moved everything out of the lower level up to the main level leaving us short on beds/rooms. After much discussion we did not feel this situation could be remedied as we felt the carpet would need to be cleaned and the building fumigated. With young children, we were very concerned about their health. Unfortunately during the night there was mouse activity on the main floor too. We checked out early the next day with a new focus of trying to find a new lodging to house all of us. Because of the size of our group, we were not successful which in turn ended our vacation as an extended family. Manager but was very unprofessional and downright rude.I was told I was a disgrace for coming to a national forest land and complaining about spiders and wildlife. I was told to go stay in LA or Vegas among other not so nice comments. We booked two nights and we were willing to pay for one but requested a refund for the night we didn’t stay. He has refused. VRBO is of no help taking care of this situation because apparently there is a 24 hour window for complaints which we did not meet. Unfortunately not a good experience.

Nice Place for a getaway
Best A1r_6n6/Vr60 ever. The house is nice and spacious with 2 bedrooms in the basement, 3 in the main floor, and another one with fantastic view upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the amenities one would expect. All the bathrooms have individual heaters and the fireplaces are tied in with thermostats. Lastly, the checkout process is nice and super easy and didn't require us to go through a giant checklist. If I have to pick a fault, the washer could do with a couple cycles with some cleaning tablets.

Perfect place to stay and visit Yellowstone
The house was very comfortable! We were able to spread our nicely. It’s an older home but well taken care of. The owners left tons of information on what to do. We spent 1 day in Harriman Park, 3 solid days in Yellowstone and one floating down the river. We are two meals at the house and the rest in different restaurants. The views from the upstairs king are simply amazing!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at your home. The space was ideal with room to be together or apart. The hot tub was a great addition. The kitchen was more than well stocked. If we had the opportunity to be in that area, we would certainly try to stay there!!! The deer were also fun to watch! Hope others will keep this one in mind for vacations in this area, especially Yellowstone. Thanks so much!

Last minute booking to ring in 2022
We were a large group who decided on a whim to celebrate the New Year with snowmobiling! We booked this property a week before. There were very few choices left from Bozeman to Island Park. We managed to find snowmobiles in Big Sky (don't wait until the last minute for that adventure) then started looking for a place to stay. This place had everything we needed. Easy access off highway, not far from West Yellowstone, a hot tub and lots and lots of space. Great communication with the host. Take their suggestions and run with them! Thanks for helping us out Chris and family.

Amazing property. The communication with the owners for entry to the property was easy to follow and spot on. Like a friend letting you stay at their vacation home. This was my first Vrbo experience and it was great. The home itself is in breathtaking location. The last house on the street so you see are surrounded by trees while in a million dollar modern home. We really liked the kitchen was set up for use. We had 3 big meals there in 2 days. The hot tub was a nice added bonus as well. The multiple rooms, modern TV, heating systems, washer/dryer made it feel like home. I am very selective in my hotel rooms/suites when traveling. I usually check out the room first before I take it. So ya a room snob but in a good way. I like nice rooms. Really look for the attention to detail and modern set up. This island park home resort has great attention to the details. Rustic touch mixed with modern comfort. Thank you for helping to make our trip and first use of Vrbo so amazing and memorable.
